    A thermos flask keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. If I were you I'd put a coffee and a choc ice in there Dave

    It is fairly cold out there this morning. The pond and Eazy Pod are both relatively toasty compared to the shed and outside air temperature at 5.6
    The shed is 2.3 and outside was - 0.1

    I flushed the tempest earlier and the waste water tub outlet pipework must be frozen as the tub isn't emptying. It's meant to go up from 0 to 2 by 11 am and then reach 5 or 6 by mid afternoon if the BBC weather app is anywhere near correct? It's currently bright sunshine but there's clouds too

    Just looking at the feasibility of using an igloo instead of Polycarbonate …..not quite sure it’s in keeping with the Japanese hot house methodology

    No snow here but the last few days we have had just about everything else you wouldn't want, night frosts, cold days and last nights serving was gales and rain.

    Outside temp currently up to 5.1c ... Pond down to 6c so hoping it mildens up again soon.
